A Second From The Surface (now known as Ambassador Gun) was formed in the late 90's by Luke Olson and Tim Sieler and played as a three piece grindcore band in Minneapolis. Thier last album as A Second From the Surface, ?The Streets Have Eyes?, was released internationally by This Dark Reign Recordings on May 8th, 2007. The album sought to expose the tyrannized human spirit amidst paranoia, frustration, money, greed and desire.
Using life as the catalyst for writing these songs is what embodies A Second From The Surface. Since the beginning, they have embarked on the ultimate goal to write distinct songs, tour, and gain recognition the world over as an important band. Since reforming and redefining their sound they have written 25 plus songs and have been able to share the stage with such artists as Otep, Red Sparowes, Harlots, Today Is The Day and many others. A Second From The Surface continued touring, writing and recording as 2007 unfolded into another year of oppurtunities. As artists, they play to inspire reaction in the audience of vigor and excitement. They unmistakenly possess a strict dedication to creating relentless and powerful music by mixing in metal, punk and rock into two minute songs that are expressive, abrasive and passionate. They will continue to write and grind that shit indefinitely.
In 2008, A Second From the Surface changed their name to Ambassador Gun and released their first album When in Hell.
